WHEELED TOY.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed April 23, 1917. Serial No. 163,894.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM vFun), a citizen of the United States of America, residing at 1306 N. Central Ave, Baltimore, in the county of Baltimore City and State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wheeled Toys, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to figure wheeled toys and more particularly to that class where the objects are thrown into operation I when the toy is propelled causing thereby considerable amusement to a child. The object of this invention is to produce such a device which is simple in construction and cheaply made and one which will not readily get out of order.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my device.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view;

Fig. 3 is a rear view;

Fig. 4: is a front view.

In the drawings A, represents a miniature figure of a person, while B represents a miniature figure of a chicken.

It is obvious, however, that these figures may be representations of different objects than these shown without departing from the general scope of the invention.

O represents .a base on which the objects A and B are suitably supported by the trussrod 1 projecting upwardly therefrom, in such a manner as to suitably support the objects in the proper relative position for operation.

The base C is provided with brackets 2-2 at the rear thereof which are adapted to support a compound crank 3 which is pro vided at its ends with suitable driving wheels 4-4, integrally secured thereto.

The front end of the base is supported upon a wheel 5, which is suitably pivoted at the lower end of the forked member 6, which in turn is pivotally mounted in the base. The axle for this wheel is adapted to pass through the member 6, and be bent forward and connected together at its free ends in such a manner as to form a suitable connection for a tongue or the like by which the toy is propelled.

The legs 7-7, of the figure A are pivoted to the bod as at 8 and are adapted to freely oscillate erefrom. The legs 9-9 of the chicken B are likewise pivoted as at 10 to the body portion of the figure B, these legs likewise oscillating freely. Connectin the legs 77 and the legs 99 of the ob ects, are connecting wires 11--11, which are arranged in such a manner as to cause the legs of the different objects to oscillate together. Leading from the compound crank 3 are pitmen 12, which as disclosed are connected at their outer ends to the leg member 99 of the object B. It will be observed, that the connecting rods 11-11, and the pitmen 12- 12 are one continuous piece thereby greatly simplifying the construction of the actuating mechanism. It is obvious, however, that rods 1111 and the pitmen 12 may be made of separate parts. The wings 1313 of the chicken are pivoted to the body portion in such a manner as to be vertically movable. Each Wing is actuated by a lever 14:, projecting rearwardly and upwardly from the leg member 9 of the chicken and support the wings in such a manner as to cause them to be vertically actuated when the legs are oscillated through the driving mechanism.

The arms 15, of the object A are adapted to extend horizontally therefrom and are of sufficient length to overlap the tail portion 16, of the chicken thereby presenting a more realistic appearance of the fleeing objects.

It will therefore be seen that these objects are mounted and connected together in such a manner as to be actuated when the toy is propelled thereby producing a very amusing effect to the operator.

I claim:

1. A wheeled toy comprising a base having miniature figures mounted thereon legs pivotally mounted on one of the figures, legs and other movable members pivotally mounted on the other figure, means connecting the legs and other movable members of one figure together for oscillatory movement, means connecting the legs of the different fi ures together for oscillatory movement and means connected to the legs of one of the figures whereby they are actuated when the base is propelled.

2. A wheeled toy comprising a base having miniature figures mounted thereon, legs pivotally mounted on one of the figures, legs and other movable members pivotally mount ed on the other figure, means connecting the legs and other movable members of one figuse together for oscillatory movement means connecting the legs of the clifi'erent figures together for oscillatory movement, front and rear Wheels for said base, a crank shaft fixed to the rear WllGQlS and an operative conmemes nection between the crank shaft and the movable legs of one of the figures whereby when the base is propelled the legs and other 10 movable members of one figure ancl legs of the other figure are simultaneously actuated. In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
